Abstract:
Natural toxins include a multitude of toxic secondary metabolites produced by animals, bacteria, fungi algae, and plants that are generally not intended as environmental contaminants of concern for water quality. However, the presence of anthropogenic waste in the aquatic environment, both with the climate changes and the increase of temperatures, is creating favorable conditions for the development of undesired organisms able to produce natural toxins that sum with other well known anthropogenic pollutants such as pesticides. Among them, natural toxins produced by algae (cyanotoxins), fung

Abstract:
A common water quality issue is an excess of nutrients which can lead to problems such as eutrophication. Stream restoration is one method by which improvements in water quality may be attempted. One strategy is increasing hyporheic zone flow at baseflow by addition of instream structures. The hyporheic zone can be an area of increased biogeochemical activity, with potential enhancement of reactions such as denitrification. However, the comparative effects of various instream restoration techniques, as well as the role of watershed setting and corresponding environmental characteristics in

Legacy industrial contaminants, such as trichloroethene (TCE), that have been released to aquifers in the last century, now threaten the quality of groundwater baseflow to lowland rivers and streams.

This research investigates the fate and potential for in-situ natural attenuation at this interface where a poorly-defined TCE plume potentially threatens a ‘gaining’ lowland river in the UK.

Includes bibliographical references.<br>This dissertation presents a review of relevant literatre to provide a foundational understanding of the concepts, principles, processes and mechanisms involeved firstly in the coagulation of organic colour, and secondly in floc blanket clarification. The dissertation then presents an investigation of the effect of the addition of clay-kaolin-as a process aid, in floc blanket clarification of South African organically coloured natural surface waters.

Este sistema passou a receber as águas do rio Ribeira de Iguape após a abertura do canal do Valo Grande, finalizado no ano de 1852. Este canal tornou-se a principal rota de transporte das produções da região do Vale do Ribeira, e nas décadas de 1940 a 1990 as atividades de mineração da região conta

Abstract:
En France, la gestion des inondations par ruissellement représente un défi majeur pour les collectivités, exacerbé par les impacts du changement climatique et l'urbanisation. Le modèle ORus, développé dans le cadre de ce travail, vise à fournir un outil opérationnel pour l'aménagement du territoire et la réduction de la vulnérabilité face à ce phénomène, en tenant compte des spécificités des zones urbaines et périurbaines. ORus repose sur une analyse approfondie du ruissellement, intégrant l'influence de l'urbanisation sur la production et l'accumulation du ruissellement. Il utilise également

Abstract:
Le maintien de la qualité des eaux de surface au sein des bassins versants est un enjeu pour la société et les écosystèmes. Ce maintien est en partie assuré par la régulation de la qualité de l'eau, encore trop peu étudiée. Comprendre cette régulation faciliterait la détermination de l'impact anthropique et des zones à préserver, en conséquence, une gestion de la ressource optimale. Si l'on considère les nitrates comme indicateur de la qualité de l'eau, ces derniers sont apportés en quantité importante par les activités agricoles, les rejets urbains et industriels. La régulation est assurée pa
